It , follows: To: All Students and Student Organizations at The Penn sylvania State College. • I acknowledge with enthusiastic thanks receipt of, your generois message which has just 'reached me by amateur short wave radio. In all candor, I must say I am overwhelmed by your kindness and intrigued by your. ingenuity. It is clear to me that it is going to be downright fun to work with such resourceful students. - • If initially I had any reservation in my mind about the wisdom of moving from Kansas State to Penn State, it was that one who was long been accustomed to the pioneer spirit, the relaxed friendliness 'of the midwest, might find himself a 'stranger, temporarily at least, midst the more conservative demeanor and traditions of Pennsylvania. Your message, along with hundreds of greetings from) the faculty, alumni, and friends of the College, have happily convinced me that my judgment on this was faulty. You are proud of Penn State history and accomplish ments. I am immensely \ proud to have been elected to the presidency of your institution. Our task together is going . to be an exciting one. Students, faculty, administrators, trus tees, alumni, and citizens generally will cooperate in contin uing to build toward well-defined, even-higher goals. To gether, we shall reach for the stars. Very shortly I shall visit the campus. Perhaps it will be my good fortune to meet many of the seniors .who will com plete their work before I assume my responsibilities on July 1. I hope so. We might have that milkshake together= but please, a literal one! Again my thanks to all, you and the operators of WOSJP and W3YA for transmitting of messages. Sincerely, . Milton S.
